Apple Announces iPhone 11 - Here's What You Need To Know

As expected, Apple has announced the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max at its yearly September keynote - let's take a dive into what was announced.

The iPhone 11

The iPhone 11 is the direct replacement to last year's iPhone Xr, the most popular phone in the world. It features a 6.1-inch LCD display and a design that's similar to last year's model.

The main upgrades this year come via the cameras. The iPhone 11 features a dual-camera system that's fitted with an ultra-wide camera, 2x optical zoom, Night Mode settings, and 4K video capabilities. There's also a new mono portrait effect, and portrait mode will now work on pets.

Colour options for the iPhone 11 include purple, white, green, yellow, black, or red. Prices will start at $699 (64GB) and launch on September 20th. Head here for more on the iPhone 11.
